Summary & Background: Fulton County, Georgia is a co-owner of the Atlanta-Fulton County Water Treatment Facility (a.k.a. Tom Lowe) and this contract will provide operation and maintenance services for this facility. This operation and maintenance services provided under the contract include the raw water intake pumping station, raw water transmission mains, raw water reservoirs, sludge dewatering and disposal, clearwells, finished water pump station, maintenance building, administrative building, and environmental water features and grounds.
On February 5, 2025, the Board of Commissioners approved Agenda Item 25-0106. On March 18, 2025, the City of Atlanta approved legislation 25-R-3221. On April 22, 2025, the Department of Purchasing & Contract Compliance forwarded the contract via DocuSign for contract execution. On May 2, 2025, the County was notified by the Contractor that the costs approved did not include the Contractor’s overhead and profit. The County notified the General Manager for the AFCWRC facility and it was determined that the cost for overhead and profit was not included by inadvertence and would need to be negotiated with the Contractor. The negotiations were conducted and the not to exceed amounts for Years 1-5 were agreed to by all parties; namely, the Atlanta Fulton County Water Resource Commission, City of Atlanta and Fulton County.
